Chicken looking for golden (green, to be precise) eggs only.

Does he really believes his title worth something?

That`s correct, Kramnik`s title means nth. He`s chickened out so many times
since his match with Kasparov in London.

He should show us more fighting chess not only short draws. By now I cannot
see Kramnik as a legitimate challenger for Topalov.

"In principle Kramnik can play the winner" lied FIDE president Kirsan
Ilyumzhinov (9/24/05).

Yet it's quite clear from the Chessbase report that FIDE scuttled the
$l.4 million challenge to Topalov offered by Kramnik.

And so it goes.

Surely Topalov could play with Kramnik for the money but not for the title.
Kramnik has no legitimacy to challenge Topalov today.

Whether or not the match is officially for the title, the winner
will be regarded as the true world champion.

It appears FIDE won't even let Topalov play for the money.

I can see several more serious and legitimate challengers than Kramnik
today.

No one can forbid to play exhibition matches like e.g. Karpov-Polgar.

I have maintained for at least a year that Kramnik is a whining sissy and
that his title is meaningless.

Kramnik should have played me. I could offer my wife to him as the
grand prize.
